Description

Paper discusses a new method for visualizing microbial community composition, where each sample in a standard two-dimensional map of bacterial diversity is projected as a density map onto this grid, so that different figures have similar layouts and differences can be visually assessed.

Notes

Abstract: Microbial community composition is usually visually represented using pie charts, bar charts, and phylogenetic trees. However, such representations do not have fixed layouts, making it difficult to compare multiple figures that were created independently. A new visualization method has been developed that uses a standard two-dimensional map of bacterial diversity. Each sample is projected as a density map onto this grid, so that different figures have similar layouts and differences can be visually assessed. The reliability and validity of this method has been tested using publicly available data from the well-known Human Microbiome Project. This new visualization method can help microbial ecologists visually compare bacterial communities from different sources, which could lead to new insights in metagenomics and ecology.
